Hi! My name is Lauren Bryant, and I serve as a Qualified Professional at Simply Teens Outpatient (STO). I’ve obtained a Bachelor’s Degree from Appalachian State University in 2022 and a Masters’ Degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2025. 

As a former Clinical Intern at STO, I’ve gained direct experience in using trauma-based therapeutic modalities to support clients’ abilities to heal, grow, and to identify helpful coping skills. I am passionate about providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all clients as they navigate their therapeutic journeys within the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Additionally, I aim to continue enhancing my clinical skills in order to offer quality, evidence-based treatment.
